However, in the early days of the war, many people were not optimistic about the People's Volunteers, which were completely inferior to the United Nations Army in terms of weapons, equipment and logistical supplies.
However, this people's volunteer army, which was baptized by War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, relied on millet and rifles to defeat the United Nations armed to the teeth in World War I, which made the world sit up and take notice of this oriental lion.
Since the 1840 Opium War, it was also the only China army that could defeat the White Legion, but it did not collapse. It is understandable to rank among the world powers.
At the same time, people at that time also called the People's Volunteers "the peak of light infantry".
196 1 year, British general Montgomery said after his visit to China, I advised my colleagues not to fight the China army on the ground.
So, why is there such a statement? Thanks to this card of the People's Volunteers, it was also this card that Huo Qubing, the Han general, was able to win every battle and destroy the Huns.
This is a battle without rear support!
We should know that China has fought bloody battles for decades (anti-encirclement campaign in the Red Army period, anti-mopping-up campaign in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, the great leap into Dabie Mountain in the Liberation War, and so on). ), combat experience is self-evident, it seems that only the people's army has practiced a unique skill-fighting without rear support.
To put it simply, we don't rely entirely on the rear supply support to advance forward, but through rapid advancement (long-distance assault operations), we use enemy materials as supplies to achieve step-by-step operations.
A series of guerrilla tactics such as Maque War, Assault War and Tunnel War also provided considerable support for the military operations of the People's Volunteers in the Korean battlefield.
Stand aside, be flexible, boldly penetrate, and directly enter the enemy's rear, just like a magic soldier descending from the sky, that is, to give full play to the advantages of light infantry's rapid maneuver day and night in complex terrain.
1950, a people's volunteer army made a long-distance attack, directly bypassed the weak defense area of the US military, seized the supply center of the US military Hufei Mountain, and almost cut off the supply line of the Eighth Army of the United Nations Army.
Then, this people's volunteer army disappeared quietly, and the US military dispatched a large number of reconnaissance helicopters to search. Everywhere, except for the snow-capped mountains, there is still no trace of the March of the People's Volunteers.
Naively thinking that the People's Volunteers had withdrawn to China, the US military boldly marched in. Inadvertently, 300,000 people's volunteers suddenly appeared in the rear, aiming at the US military and making the US military unprepared.
There are even American generals who say that these China people are not magic soldiers who don't eat or drink. This is terrible!
However, behind the people's volunteers' operations without rear support is actually the support of the broad masses of the people. Just like the BGF 74th Division in Meng Lianggu, which was besieged by the People's Liberation Army, the common people were desperate for food, while the Kuomintang army ran out of ammunition, and finally won the battle of Menglianggu.
A general of the People's Liberation Army said that it was the people's wheelbarrow and Qi Xin who worked together to help the People's Liberation Army liberate all of China!
With the support of the local people in North Korea, the volunteers not only knew the roads marked on the map, but also knew some little-known narrow paths, which made the volunteers surprise the US military again and again.
In the later period of the Korean War, the logistics supply line of the volunteers faced a serious threat. The local Korean people braved the gunfire and used trolleys, camels and shoulder poles to transport food and ammunition to the volunteers and the wounded. Some people even picked up guns and fought side by side with the People's Volunteers.
When the bridge was built near the Qingchuan River, the Chinese and Korean soldiers and civilians invested tens of thousands of people 1000 trucks, which ensured the transportation of military materials.
People's Volunteers can have the title of "the peak of light infantry" because they hate war and sympathize with and care for the people.
Because we have experienced the persecution of war, only when we are too powerful to imagine can we keep the enemy away.
